Container Chassis Definition
Container chassis is also known as intermodal chassis. It refers to wheeled equipment carrying containers through trucks between warehouses, terminals, and ports. It has a steel frame with axle systems, tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Typically, a standard chassis moves regular ISO containers that range between 20 feet and 40 feet with two axles. A tri-axle chassis is only necessary when transporting a 20-foot container weighing more than 36,000 pounds or a 40-foot container weighing more than 44,000 pounds.
